Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hello, Tara, I know this is sad for you, but know that your uncle knows it is his time to go. It's interesting how people, when their time is near, have an inner 'knowing' of that and accept it with peace and clarity. My father in law was like that. He had pulmonary fibrosis during the last 4 years of his long life. The doctor had given him months to live. My husband went home to help his mother through his father's demise and death. Then, he had a sort of remission! Although he was on oxygen, for three years, he was feeling good, able to get around the house and go out on his front porch and sit in his rocker, which was one of his favorite things to do. It was such a wonderful time for his family to have that 'last hurrah' with him! Then, just as abruptly, he began to decine. He was having panic spells in which he was extremely short of breath, and he had to be talked through them, be instructed to relax and focus on breathing and not panic. This went on for about 4 months and was extremely draining on my mother in law. By this time, my husband and I had moved to Brunswick, where his parents live, and were living next door to them. Then, one day, I went next door to visit my in laws and my mother in law told me that my father in law had asked to be taken to the hospice. She was so stressed out and surprised by his request that she actually asked me what she should do! We called my husband, who came home from work, and we took Ed, my father in law, to the hospice. He was there for exactly one week. One week later, he passed quietly and gently from this world. I believe that the day that Ed asked to be taken to the hospice, he knew that it was his time was just around the corner. He also recognized the toll that his declining condition was taking on his wife. The week he spent at the hospice was painless and peaceful. As the American Indians would say about a passing like this one, it was a good death. Tara, your uncle knows that you love him. Pray for his gentle passage and know that he is in peace. An anticipated and nonviolent death is a blessing, and is actually celebrated on the spiritual plane, as those who have passed celebrate the impending arrival of another soul. A wonderful continuation of life on the spiritual plane is awating your uncle. I posted this book reference to the OBE Newsletter group once, and I'll share it with my friends here, too. There is a wonderful book, A Psychic in the Heartland, by Bettilu Stein Faulkner, about a psychic osteopath, the author's uncle. In one chapter, Faulkner relays the psychic's description of the passing of his aunt. As a psychic, he was able to see the non-physical body hovering over the physical body as the latter died, and the passing of life energy from the phys body into the spirit body through the silver cord. Reading that chapter gave me chills and brought tears of joy to my eyes. The entire book is just wonderful, and I highly recommend it, and especially chapter 5. I have been praying for your uncle, Tara, and I will continue to do so. I will pray for his peaceful passing and for God's blessings on you and your family.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Tara, Your questions remind me of Eric Clapton's song, Tears in Heaven, which he wrote for his son right after his death: Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven I must be strong, and carry on Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven I'll find my way, through night and day Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven Time can bring you down Time can bend your knee Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please (instrumental) Beyond the door There's peace I'm sure. And I know there'll be no more... Tears in heaven Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven I must be strong, and carry on Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven Yes, Tara, you and your uncle will always know and love each other and he would recognize you if you were to meet in non-physical form. And perhaps that will happen some day. Look for him to come to you in a dream after his passing. That happens frequently. My nephew came to me in a dream a month or so after he was murdered to tell me that he was alright. And I hear similar reports all the time. I thought Linda had a wonderful idea: make him one of your beautiful creations...a card telling how much you love him! Your psychic energies are so strong that you could just get into a meditative state and talk to your uncle. Tell him whatever you want...tell him how much he has meant to you...tell him what awaits him on the other side...ask him to come to you in a dream or whatever state you desire once he has crossed over. Just because you can't see him again doesn't mean you can no longer communicate with him. Reap a lesson from your uncle...be at peace, as he is. Death is not an end, it is a new beginning!
